Why this size
Business Card size in pixels, cm and inches
Printers think in physical sizes, screens think in pixels. Business Card is 8.89 x 5.08 cm, or 3.5 x 2 in. At 300 DPI, the standard for sharp prints, that is 1050 x 600 px; at 150 DPI, enough for posters seen from a distance, it is 525 x 300 px.
The tool resizes your image to the 300 DPI size and writes 300 DPI into the file, so print dialogs pick the right size automatically. Print at 100% or Actual size, not Fit to page, and the result measures exactly 3.5 x 2 in.

Avoid
Common problems and fixes
- The edges were trimmed unevenlyCutting is never perfectly exact. Add 1/8 inch of bleed around the design (3.75 x 2.25 inches) so a slightly off cut still looks clean.
- Text is too close to the edgeKeep text and logos at least 1/8 inch inside the card edge, so trimming does not touch them.
- The printer wants a PDFConvert the resized image to PDF with the original size page setting.
